Henley Spice Merchant

Friendly staff, good location, nice ambience. Slightly smaller portions than you’d expect. For a main course of Tandoori tiger prawns at £21.95 you’d expect more than 5 on a plate! However the butter murgh was the best I’ve ever had. Deep, rich and complex.

As stated this Indian restaurant is henleys best..... ♥ And there not lying.. The only complaint I've had with curry houses is that they can't cook prawns..... What ever shape or form.....always over cooked... But apart from that... The meal was sublime and the onion bhagee was to die for.... Never judge a restaurant by one visit..... I'll be back to try something different from your extensive menu...... 7/10 great ambiance and service...

Worst and most expensive takeaway for two ever. Had good food before now, this was totally flavourless and extremely disappointing for the price

The food was good but not outstanding as you expect for the price you pay. Had better for less money.

Absolutely appalling. A picture speaks a thousand words, so here is ours of a £61 curry for two (yes) where it belongs. Although, frankly, the food bin is starting to gag too. Where do I start? Probably first order of the evening, but it turned up cold? A salad that was a two-year old slicing inch thick slices of red onion, cucumber and tomato? A £6.50 mushroom rice? Food that had clearly been recycled from a quiet lunch? Simply the most shocking food that I have ever been served.

Would be very surprised if anywhere could rival the Spice merchant for their fantastic dishes and their restaurant in general. The owner always seems to be on hand when you walk in and is really very nice and welcoming. Can't recommend this place enough!! One of Henleys treasures

EDIT: AVOID : £83 FOR FOOD POISONING

Overpriced and bland. 3 meals and a single starter for £83, including delivery.

Delivery man wouldn't even cross the road to pass it to the front door. (Not £5 worth of delivery). Also turned up late.

Tandoori didn't come with any salad or lemon.

All came shrink wrapped like a takeaway meal from Tesco. More flavour in the Tesco meal.

Bhajii was oversized and bland.

Temperature was warm. Meat portions were larger than usual.

EDIT: Downgraded to 1 star as the morning after eating the food I was sick and had a bad stomach. Avoid.

Ate here last time we stayed ..loved it .. just tried to order a delivery.. got told i couldn't do the order on the phone and i need to use the app..
Spent ages trying.. gave up and had toast get a grip !!! Try speaking to customers !!!
